Ingredients

  1. 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  2. 2 onions, thinly sliced
  3. Kosher salt
  4. 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  5. 3/4 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  6. 3 tablespoons ketchup
  7. 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  8. 1 tablespoon steak sauce
  9. 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  10. Freshly ground pepper
  11. 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 4 pieces
  12. 4 thick slices crusty sourdough bread
  13. 1 bunch watercress, trimmed

Instructions

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, 2 tablespoons water and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding 1 more tablespoon water if needed, until the onions are caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in 2 more tablespoons water and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Slowly add the cheese, stirring to melt. Cover and keep warm.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the ketchup, mustard, steak sauce, mayonnaise, remaining 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. 
  3. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until well browned, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
  4. Toast the bread and spread with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter; divide among plates. Thinly slice the steak and pile on top of the bread. Drizzle with all but 2 tablespoons of the ketchup mixture and scatter the onions on top.
  5. Toss the reserved ketchup mixture with the watercress; season with salt and pepper. Serve with the sandwiches.

Mr. Jose Ball
This recipe is fast and easy for a weeknight.  I served it with FNM’s Steak Fry Fricos.  My husband and I really liked the entire meal.  My sourdough loaf had smallish slices, so I had enough topping for 6 slices as well as some steak for a salad the next day.
